Opera di Ai Weiwei: quello che sembra un semplice mucchio di semi di girasole è in realtà l'insieme di milioni di semi di ceramica fatti a mano uno ad uno. Capolavoro.

Vernissage de l'exposition " Mountains and Seas" Ai Weiwei (8 avril/17 juin 2017)
"Blossom draws on and alters natural imagery as well as traditional Chinese arts. Rather than referring to national iconography, however, the flowers here carry other associations. The work could be seen as symbolically offering comfort to the imprisoned, as one would send a bouquet to a hospitalized patient. The profusion of flowers rendered in a cool and brittle material could also be an ironic reference to China’s famous Hundred Flowers Campaign of 1956, a brief period of government tolerance for free expression that was immediately followed by a severe crackdown against dissent." www.for-site.org/project/ai-weiwei-alcatraz-blossom/

Ai Weiwei, Bronze, 2010
>>Internationally acclaimed Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei has reinterpreted the twelve bronze animal heads representing the traditional Chinese zodiac that once adorned the famed fountain-clock of the Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace), an imperial retreat outside Beijing. The "Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads; Bronze" is the artist's first major public sculpture project.
Designed in the 18th century by two European Jesuits serving in the court of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) of Emperor Qianlong, the twelve animal heads originally functioned as a water clock-fountain in the magnificent European style gardens of the Yuanming Yuan. In 1860, the Yuanming Yuan was ransacked by French and British troops, and the heads were pillaged. In re-interpreting these objects on an oversized scale, Ai Weiwei's "Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads" focuses attention on issues of looting and repatriation, while extending his ongoing exploration of "fake" and the copy in relation to the original.<<

The back wall of the gallery is covered in a deceptively decorative wallpaper, The Animal That Looks Like a Llama But is Really an Alpaca (2015). What from a distance looks like French eighteenth-century ormolu becomes, upon closer inspection, ominous arrays of surveillance cameras. During his years of domestic house arrest (2011–2015), the Chinese government surrounded Ai’s studio in Beijing with over twenty cameras, recording his activities twenty-four hours a day. He draws on his personal experience to comment on the encroaching surveillance state both in China and in the West. The beauty of the wallpaper design in contrast to its obscured sinister subject matter may allude to the deceptive sense of freedom that people can experience walking through the city, unaware that all of their movements and interactions are being watched at all times.
